ILR Question

Post by beeboobee » Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:27 am

Is it possible that after 4 yrs on dependant visa and 1 yr on WP that someone can apply for ILR? Or do they have to spend another 4 yrs on WP?

Unfortunately not, you need 5 years on WP or WP+HSMP. What visa is your partner/spouse on and how long has he/she had it?

Why didn't the parents apply for ILR for their dependent at the same time? See also paragraph 198.

If s/he is now on a wp, then s/he is no longer dependent on the parents and cannot qualify for settlement at present.
